Where Puja started.
GPA 2.4, a 3-year gap, told no twice.
- +2 in management with a GPA of 2.4.
- Three years working in her family's shop, with nothing on paper to show it.
- Two consultancies told her Australia was out of reach.
What we changed.
- We stopped trying to get her into year 1 of a degree her GPA didn't meet, and found a diploma whose graduates enter year 2.
- Her gap became work experience: the shop's PAN certificate, a letter from her father, and two years of pay records typed up and signed.
- Her Genuine Student answers explained why IT, why Brisbane, and what the diploma costs against the degree.

"Two consultancies said no. Here I got a diploma pathway straight into year 2 of my degree, and someone finally asked what I'd been doing for three years."
